2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

TRANSMISSION ISSUES: SURGES FORWARD AND SHIFTING TOO SOON LOUD CLUNKS WHEN IT SHIFTS UP AND DOWN LOWER GEARS VIBRATION WHEN COASTING TO A STOP DIFFICULTY/HESITATION ON SHIFTING PROPERLY ON ACCELERATION LOUD CLUNKING AT DOWNSHIFT FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR AND VISE VERSA AND ALSO A CLUNK SHIFT WHEN THE VEHICLE APPROACHES A COMPLETE STOP. THE DOWNSHIFT IS SO HARD THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE IS TONS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET CLAIMING THAT A PLATE ON THE 2ND GEAR HAS TO MUCH OF A GAP. IT'S A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, GM SERVICE BULLETIN: #PIP5175B AND REFERS TO MEXICAN SOURCED TRANSMISSIONS THAT WERE BUILT WITH THE STATOR SUPPORT BOLTS NOT BEING PROPERLY TORQUED, LEADING TO VARIOUS CONCERNS, THE FIRST OF WHICH TO SHOW UP IS USUALLY THE 1-2 SHIFT FLARE/SLIP. THE KICK IS HARD ENOUGH WHEN IT SHIFTS THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR GETTING REAR ENDED FROM 3RD TO 2ND. ALSO YOU THINK YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL DROP OUT IT GOES INTO GEAR SO HARD.

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY ON A CITY STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY JERKED TO THE LEFT OUT OF MY HAND, AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WENT DEAD (LOST ALL POWER, LIGHTS, ETC.). BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, I WAS UNABLE TO TURN FULLY INTO MY DRIVEWAY. AS A RESULT, THE BED OF THE TRUCK WAS STICKING OUT INTO A MAJOR ROAD AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY CARS COMING AROUND THE CURVE BY MY DRIVEWAY. IT WAS DARK AND RAINY. I CALLED SOMEONE FOR HELP AND WE PUSHED THE TRUCK OUT OF THE ROADWAY AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, CONSIDERING THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL LOCKED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART. ALL POWER WAS GONE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD THINK TO MOVE THE TRUCK WAS TO JUMP START IT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER JUMPSTARTING THE TRUCK, THE DASH INFO SYSTEM DISPLAYED, "ACTION REQUIRED: OPEN THEN CLOSE DRIVER WINDOW." THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED AFTER CHEVY DEALERSHIP PERFORMED RECALL 17276 "TEMPORARY LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING (EPS) SERVICE (DURING LOW SPEED STEERING MANEUVERS). THERE IS A TSB OUT ALLUDING TO THIS ISSUE: #PIT5405C: STEERING JERKS OR KICKS BACK / REDUCED POWER STEERING ASSIST / ENGINE STALL, ETC. (JAN 27, 2017) . WHY IS THERE NO RECALL??? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY!

THE MYLINK AND RADIO KEEPS GOING OUT EEAN AFTER BEING REPLACED. THE DASHBOARD FUNCIONS ACT ERRATICALLY WITH BLINKING AND THEN RESETS THE STATISTICS. WHEN THE HORN IS KONKED THE MYLINK AND RADIO GO DEAD. THE DANGEROUS PART ID THE DASH FUNCTIONS ACTING ERRATICALLY. HOPE IT DOES NOT STALL ON MY ON THE HIGHWAY INFRONT OF A SEMIT TRUCK OR SOMETHING.

POWER STEERING FAILS DURING A TURN ALONG WITH THE ENGINE STALLING AND ALL ELECTRICAL POWER BEING SHUT DOWN. STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS. A GOOGLE SEARCH YIELDS MANY, MANY SIMILAR REPORTS. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? IT IS DEC 2017 AND MANY OF THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES ARE STILL NOT FIXED BY GM.

NOTICED AN ISSUE AT ABOUT 70000 MILES WHERE TURNING LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS UNDER 10 MPH THERE IS A SOUND CLUNK IN THE STEERING. IT IS EASILY REPUTABLE AND HAPPENS OFTEN REGARDLESS OF DIRECTION, REVERSE OR FORWARD DRIVE. THE DEALER SAID IT IS A FAILURE OF THE STEERING RACK, AND IT NEEDS REPLACED. $1800 FOR THE PART AND $3 HOURS OF INSTALL BRINGS THE REPAIR TO $2400 FOR A 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK. I NOTICED MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME DESCRIPTION. DEALER STATES THAT THE RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WOULDN'T RECOMMEND DRIVING IT UNTIL REPAIRED. I ASKED WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF IT FAILED COMPLETELY AND IF THIS WAS RELATED TO ANY OTHER RECALLS. THEY SAID COMPLETE STEERING LOSS AND THEY WOULD NOT SPECULATE ON RECALLS ASSOCIATED TO THIS FAILURE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE CONTACT STRUCK A CURB. THE CONTACT HAD TO EXERT FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WILLIAM L MORRIS CHEVROLET (1024 W VENTURA ST, FILLMORE, CA 93015) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO WEEKS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,622.

AS I WAS DRIVING IN THE EXPRESSWAY WAY THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME STEARING WHEEL GOT HARD. IN OTHER ACCASIONS WHEN I WAS TURNING IN AN BUSY INTERSECTION TRUCK TURNED OFF COMPLETY AND IT TOOK ME ABOUT A MINUTE TO BE ABLE TO TURN VEHICLE BACK ON TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND TO CHECK BATTERY AND ALTENATOR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE IT HAS DONE IT TO ME LIKE 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2WEEKS

PAINT IS PEELING REALLY EASY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSANGER SIDE AND A LITTLE BIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. PAINT PEELS REALLY EASY. FOR ONLY 34,000 MILES THIS IS NOT NORMAL. DEALER SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO

AC UNIT HAS GONE OUT TWICE NOW WITHIN 70K MILES AND I DRIVE A LOT IN TEXAS HEAT DRESSED PROFESSIONALLY AND HAVE 3 CHILDREN. I HAVE OWNED SILVERADOS SINCE I WAS 18 AND AM NOW 46 AND HAVE NEVER ONCE HAD AN AC PROBLEM. AFTER READING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE FORUMS I OVER LAST FEW YEARS I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AS A RECALL ISSUE ALREADY

FAILED REAR SEAT LATCH - SEAT STICKS IN UPWARD POSITION; SAFE VEHICLE OCCUPANCY NOT POSSIBLE.
